One of the few successful (to my taste) brews in my new apartment on some smaller/simpler equipment I'm trying to dial in. I did not do any water adjustment on this, my well water profile is very similar to the classic pilsen profile listed on various sites. I also did not happen to aerate because I messed up my stone on brew day. This came out really well, maybe my best stout ever, some very light fruity almost cherry character from the yeast, really smooth and perfect, drinkable body and just a little american hop aroma and flavor coming in. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions to really make it shine or some simple adjustments you have made on similar beers. Never used 1332 before and really liked it here. Brew it and tell me if I'm crazy. This is a dry/American stout, Calculated on brewers friend.
